Safety assessment

Area of application​

This project type is used to check the safety of an existing product. It can also be used to describe and compare potential protection concepts.

Projects of this type do not require comprehensive documentation of a risk assessment. Instead, a report is created that evaluates the risks of the product and allows a conclusion to be drawn on safety.

In addition, a list can be generated via the compliance manager to compare alternative protection concepts.
